Do You Know the Hypnotic Grip of Your Egos? - (1175)

Introduction

Knowing the hypnotic grip of our egos means comprehension of that ego. After knowing the hypnotic grip, the back bone of that ego has been more or less broken.


Comprehension

Comprehension is demonstrated in action or with facts.

While we are under the hypnotic grip of the ego we are in constant danger of identification, and demonstrating comprehension with facts is near impossible or too difficult.

The hypnotic grip tricks us into accepting, embracing and identifying with the ego. The hypnotic grip makes us buy into that ego. That is its unique role!

After the hypnotic grip leaves us we feel deceived and disappointed and angry at ourselves, because we said what we didn’t want to say and we did what we didn’t want to do. We went against all of our own best advice and principles.

The hypnotic grip makes things seem real and therefore compels us to identification, which is to fascinatingly think about the issue or desire and try to then get some answer or solution or conclusion.


Theseus, son of Poseidon, ventures into the maze of the subconscious to fulfill the quest of  slaying the Minotaur  - the myself.


One Hypnotic Grip

If for example there is a rift in a relationship, the hypnotic grip would have us believe and think “that it is broken and so it needs repairing”. They way we go about repairing it is using the ego of self-love, as one of self-love's function is precisely this. Then naturally our will ask the other party for an explanation of their behaviour towards us. We feel by virtue of this hypnotic grip to clarify, to defend and justify and make ourselves look innocent and the better party.


Hypnotic Grip is Logic

The most beguiling element for a human being is logic. The hypnotic grip is a reason or a conjunct of several reasons or a certain logic that is very powerful - very persuasive. A logic that we must obey, it is that powerful.

That is why Medusa has the snakes on her head indicating that the snakes ("I's") have their power, which
is the hypnotic power of Medusa in the mind, in logic! The Kundabuffer supplies the hypnotic power of the
ego, and this hypnotic power manifests in logic.

Find Exactly what the Hypnotic Grip Is

What about if we find exactly what the hypnotic grip is and we ‘question the hell out of it’ and then not believe in it!

I guarantee to you that that will be a ‘game changer’ for us and a ‘show stopper’ for the ego that we are working on!

Attention with Mind, Attention with Essence - (5197)

These two attentions are different. Attention with the mind tires the brain. and reduces the flow of life into steps, where it is inevitable that the narration of the mind begins to take over. With the awareness of steps comes a certain tediousness and the feeling of the flow of life leaving us behind. With the attention of mind very little of what's behind events comes to us... Attention with the essence brings the power of presence, in other words brings a certain depth and continuity of flow  Attention with the essence doesn't tire or strain and opens doorways into perceiving what is behind events and the thoughts and feelings that appear within us. It allows us also to flow with the flow of life, which is a pleasant feeling. Conclusion, make the essence bring attention to outer and inner life. End (5197).

The Sacred Substance Askokin - (962)

Introduction In simple terms, the sacred Askokin substance is the result of the mercury and the sulphur. It is the transmuted energy that crystallises to form the internal bodies (astral, mental and causal). In other words, it is the transmutation of our sexual energies. The Abrustdonis’ and ‘Helkdonis that Gurdjieff mentions in the excerpt below, taken from “Belzeebub’s Tales to His Grandson” are none other than the elements of mercury and the sulphur so spoken about in Alchemy. Excerpt on the Sacred Substance Askokin “I first learned that the destiny of beings arising on this planet of yours is chiefly to elaborate—by means of the process of their existence—the vibrations required by Nature for the maintenance of those former parts of the planet now called Moon and Anulios, when, do you remember, I became worthy personally to converse for the second time with His Conformity the then still Angel, but now Archan...

Wisdom from the Movie “Kingdom of Heaven” - (2168)

Introduction There are some movies that leave you with some pieces of advice that at point or another in your life or in the lives of others prove useful. This movie: “Kingdom of Heaven” was terrible to watch (too many battle scenes and people dying) but offered some very useful messages. In this post, I have presented a few, that have come in handy at point or another. Just to give you a bit of context, the movie is about the crusades, where the French and English were trying to defend the “Holy City” – Jerusalem from Islamic occupation. The topic of religion and God is a constant theme in the movie. It is very violent though, matching it frankly, quite awful to watch. Your Soul is in Your Keeping Alone An interesting dialogue between the French appointed king of Jerusalem and French Knight, the protagonist of the movie. Note, the king wears that metal mask because he has leprosy. King Baldwin I...
